1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are an increasing focus of investigation due to their implications in diverse biological processes and disease. Nevertheless, the majority of lncRNAs are low in abundance and poorly conserved, posing challenges to functional studies. The CRISPR/Cas system, an innovative technology that has emerged over the last decade, can be utilized to further understand lncRNA function. The system targets specific DNA and/or RNA sequences via a guide RNA (gRNA) and Cas nuclease complex. We and others have utilized this technology in various applications such as lncRNA knockout, knockdown, overexpression, and imaging. In this review, we summarize how the CRISPR/Cas technology provides new tools to investigate the roles and therapeutic implications of lncRNAs.
